‘Pitch Perfect 3’ cast members cheer on Falcons at NFC title game

The cast of Pitch Perfect 3 was on hand at the Georgia Dome Sunday afternoon as the Falcons defeated the Packers 44-21 in the NFC championship game.

The lone exception was Elizabeth Banks, the director and co-star of the series, who decided to show her support for the Packers. Some members of the Packers made cameos in Pitch Perfect 2, and the cast made a visit to the team’s locker room after the loss.
